Does Data ONTAP support System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) algorithms?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- System Security Services Daemon (SSSD)
Answer
- ONTAP works with clients that use SSSD
- ONTAP does not support algorithmic generation of UIDs and GIDs from SIDs via SSSD
- ONTAP cannot generate these UIDs and GIDs
- For name-mapping, or AUTH_SYS Extended Groups, the generated UIDs and GIDs must be queryable via an ns-switch source
Additional Information
SSSD's ID-mapping feature is controlled via "ldap_id_mapping = true" in the client's sssd.conf file.
